You!

 

You are my eyes in the darkness

You are my voice in the silence

You convey my speeches

Over the mountains - across the sea

You dress my words

In the longing colors of springtime

That brings meaning to my life

So when spring comes around

It awakes my lust to live!

And experience

The most wonderful season

With you!

 

Everlasting Love For A Season

 

Spring, oh, lovely spring!

Snowflakes turning into drops of water

Drops of sparkling newborn life

Oh, how privileged I am

Right in the middle of a miracle

Of something so innocent

And yet so ripe!

Springtime is my time

At daytime and nighttime

And all the in between times

Both early and late!

 

The Spring

 

The spring is like a wake-up call

An ice-cold morning shower

Filled with winter angel’s ice-cold tears

Handing over to the colleagues of spring

The spring is like a ringing bell

An alarm clock that hits you

When you dwell

In warm and comforting

Golden slumbers

Springtime is filled

With tweety-birds

With fruitful air

And wonder words

After a long winter’s cold

The season is getting old

And life’s once again worth living!
